What’s for Dinner? The Final Act

I can’t believe I’ve been doing this blog for more then nine years!! It’ a lot of work coming up with new ideas, testing them, writing and photographing them, and then posting them out here. It’s work I’ve loved doing! I love to cook and create.

I retired from my day job a couple of years ago and figured I’d have a lot of time to work the blog and create some delicious foods. And I did. And I fully embraced being able to do what I want, when I want.

And now it’s time to fully retire and enjoy being creative in other areas. I’ve started sculpting again – and making jewelry. I’m looking forward to more time in my garden and getting my hands dirty. Effective July 31, 2024, the Lazy Gastronome will bid you adieu. 

I have made some wonderful friends along the way and learned a lot from all of you. For that I am deeply grateful. Thank you to every one of you for your support, honesty, and friendship. I’ll still be watching you! (I can’t give up some of the recipes you all share!).

So thank you for the fun. Thank you for joining the ride. And thank you for helping make this a fabulous nine years!!

And now, onto our very last dinner party!! Party on!

What’s for Dinner? Sunday Link up #480

I’m planning what’s for dinner this week. It’s too hot to cook, so what do you suggest? Help me plan some meals!

I love lazy summer afternoons. I love to sit on the deck, looking out at our completely imperfect and total beautiful yard, sipping coffee and munching on homemade treats. It’s the perfect place to think and plan.

Minty Watermelon Granita

We had a party for the 4th of July. I bought a big watermelon – I mean what’s a summer bbq without it? Needless to say I had a full half a melon left for the two of us – and that’s after I sent some home with everyone!

You can only eat so many minty watermelon feta salads. Then it got really hot out! I wanted something cold but I didn’t want to go to the store. And then the ah ha moment!!

I’ve made granita before and I had everything I needed on hand. Once I decided what all I was going to use (mint or lemon verbena or lemon balm or …), I went out back and picked some mojito mint.

The finished granita was just very slightly minty and very refreshing! Continue reading
